Removing installed fonts
It’s a rare occasion that you want to remove a font from
your computer. Removing a font is not necessarily the same
as updating a font. On most platforms, replacing an old
version of a font with a newer one is simply a matter of
installing it again. If you do remove a font, any documents
you’ve created with that font will revert back to some
default font, a situation you should generally avoid. But if
you don’t have any documents that contain a certain font,
you might want to remove it to save space on your
computer’s disk or to reduce clutter in your font menus.
Disks containing fewer files generally work faster, and font
menus with fewer fonts display more quickly. It’s also true
that programs start more slowly when there are lots of fonts
installed. So there really are some valid reasons why you
might want to remove unused fonts from your computer.
Done carefully, font removal can speed your work and
brighten your day.
